Poor-man Isamu is a comedian with zero popularity. When he gets up on stage to do his material, it never gets any laughs, and his slump drags on. One day, on his way home, he hears a voice that seems to be calling him. He heads to the riverbank where he finds the youkai Sara-kozou happily singing and washing plates. He watches, unnoticed, and decides to make what he sees into a gag for his act. And so, by singing the youkai's song and dancing, Isamu starts to become popular. Sara-kozou is enraged when he realizes his song has been stolen. Kitaro goes to warn Isamu to stop singing the song, but...
I only rescued you because
your wife asked me to.
أنقذتك لأنّ زوجتك طلبت
.ذلك منّي فحسب
Ich habe dich nur auf Bitte
deiner Frau hin gerettet.
Solo te salvé
porque tu esposa me lo pidió.
Solo te salvé
porque tu esposa me lo pidió.
C’est pour votre épouse
que je vous ai sauvé.
Ti ho salvato 
perché mi è stato chiesto da tua moglie.
Eu só te resgatei porque sua esposa pediu.
Благодари жену... молившую спасти тебя.
